Host of "The OpenAI Podcast"; Former Science Communicator & First Prompt Engineer, OpenAI
Andrew Mayne Biography
Andrew Mayne served as OpenAI’s Science Communicator and was its first Prompt Engineer, contributing to GPT-3, ChatGPT, and GPT-4. He is currently the host of The OpenAI Podcast, where he hosts a series of honest, long-form conversations with the people building and shaping technology from inside OpenAI. He is also now the founder of Interdimensional, a firm that helps companies utilize artificial intelligence.
Prior to working at OpenAI, Mayne swam with great white sharks in the Discovery Channel special "Andrew Mayne: Ghost Diver."
Mayne is a Wall Street Journal bestselling novelist. He has been nominated for the Edgar Award for his book "Black Fall" and the Thriller Award for "Name of the Devil" and "The Naturalist" – an Amazon Charts bestseller that spent six weeks at the number one spot for all books on Amazon. Prior to his first publishing deal, he was listed by Amazon as one of the top 10 bestselling indie authors of the year.
He also starred in the A&E magic television series "Don’t Trust Andrew Mayne."
With the support from the Johnny Carson Foundation and the James Randi Educational Foundation, Mayne created a program to use magic to teach critical thinking skills in public schools. His Wizard School segments, teaching magic and science to children, aired nationwide on public television.
As a creative consultant, he’s worked behind the scenes for David Copperfield, Penn & Teller, and David Blaine. He’s developed innovative magic effects that are performed around the world and even helped develop an experiment that was conducted onboard the International Space Station.
His underwater stealth suit featured in the Shark Week special, "Andrew Mayne: Ghost Diver," was the result of his interest in perception and engineering. While researching great white sharks and their behavior, he developed artificial intelligence models based on sharks and used them to create a VR training simulator for shark interaction.
